Zodus, a behavioural science start up, is looking to test their problem-solving game and is looking for Mumsnetters who are 45+ to test the simulation game. The testing will involve playing a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 rounds of the game (each round takes 2-3 minutes) 5 times over a 2 month period. You will not have to play all rounds in one session, you can resume at any time during the test period. In total, it will take about 2 hours of your time (over the 2 month period).

Here’s what Zodus has to say: “FutureSpace is a gamified simulation that captures decision-making in problems similar to retirement. FutureSpace invites players to set goals and then challenges achievements of these with different scenarios of news, events and opportunities. Zodus’ ambition is to help organisations design policies, products and services that work with the grain of human nature.”

If you’re selected, you will be sent a link to the game and will be asked to complete a minimum of 25 rounds over the course of a 2 month period. We will also send you detailed instructions. There will be no feedback thread on Mumsnet.

MNers who meet the minimum requirement of 5 rounds in each test will receive a £20 voucher and will also be entered into a prize draw and one person will receive a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Please sign up here if you’d like to take part.

Thanks and good luck!

@Philomensapie apologies you felt the survey end was abrupt! That was the last question, so you're fully signed up - we'll be in touch in the new year if you're selected.

@FadedRed - apologies - please answer for what you did prior to retirement. We've updated this question for most surveys, but it looks like it's slipped through the net on this occasion! Xmas Blush

Hi all,

Thanks for your comments on this - we're talking to Zodus about this at the moment - we'll be sending an email with an update over the next day or so.

Hi all, apologies for the lack of response on this thread. We've been made aware that the email address we chose to use for this product test (because of the scale of communication expected between ourselves and testers) is being filtered into some users' spam folders, and we've also found some emails from users in our spam folder - this isn't something we usually experience, and so it's something we'd missed initially. We believe we've now been in touch with all users who have been in touch about withdrawing to confirm their request has been received, and we're very sorry if this isn't the case for you. We'll be running through all emails and this thread again with a fine tooth comb tomorrow morning in an attempt to pick up anything we may have missed the first time around. If you haven't received a response from us by around 2pm tomorrow afternoon and think you should have, please PM me and we'll look into it urgently. As we're a Monday to Friday team, any queries coming in over the weekend will likely be responded to on Monday.

If you're experiencing trouble playing the game because of technical issues, please post on the private thread on Mumsnet about this. If you don't think you've been invited to this or have had trouble accessing this area please let us know by emailing us on [email protected]. Because this test is a development exercise rather than a product test in the traditional sense, it makes sense for the threads discussing the test to be private, so that Zodus are able to engage more with participants.

@Epanoui - we think we've fixed this for you now. If you're still having trouble accessing the area could you let us know?

@starlingsintheslipstream - we're not sure why this is happening for you! Look out for a PM - we're trying to get to the bottom of it

JustineBMumsnet · 29/05/2019 12:15

@CrumblyMumbly can you PM or email us? As a participant you should have received an email about the next stage of the test last week, but we're not able to find you on our list of participants so it looks like we need to do some digging.

JustineBMumsnet · 16/07/2019 13:25

Hi all - apologies if we haven't got back to your email! I've been on annual leave for the last few days, but will be putting our order for these vouchers through ASAP - look out for an email over the next day or so.
